Seroepidemiology of herpes simplex virus type 1 and 2 in pregnant women in Switzerland: an obstetric clinic based study.

OBJECTIVE: To assess the seroprevalence of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) and type 2 (HSV-2) IgG antibodies and the seroincidence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 infections in pregnant women attending the maternity clinic of the University Hospital Lausanne. STUDY DESIGN: Blood samples from 1030 women were taken at the usual pregnancy visit in the first trimester to assess the prevalence rate of IgG antibodies against HSV-1 and HSV-2 using a type-specific assay. A second blood sample was taken 6-8 weeks postpartum from returning women who were seronegative for HSV-2 or HSV-1 to assess the incidence of seroconversion (primary infection). RESULTS: The seroprevalence rates were 79.4% (95% CI: 76.9-81.9) for HSV-1 and 21.2% (18.7-23.7) for HSV-2 in women 14-46 years old. Type-specific serostatus patterns were as follows: 17.3% HSV-1/-2: +/+, 62.1% HSV-1/-2: +/-, 3.9% HSV-1/-2: -/+, 16.7% HSV-1/-2: -/-. Two hundred and sixty five women (59 of the 212 seronegative for HSV-1 (27.8%) and 265 of the 812 seronegative for HSV-2 (32.6%)) returned to the outpatient clinic for the post-delivery check and a second blood sample was obtained. One HSV-1 seroconversion was detected (HSV-1 seroconversion rate 2.4%/100 patient×year (95% CI: 0.06-13.4)) in a patient who had symptoms compatible with primary genital herpes. No HSV-2 seroconversion was detected (HSV-2 seroconversion rate: 0/100 patient×year (97.5% one-sided CI: 0-2)). CONCLUSION: Compared to a previous population-based study, our study results suggest a rise in the prevalence of HSV-2 among pregnant women in Switzerland. The low incidence of seroconversion detected during pregnancy is consistent with the very low reported incidence of neonatal herpes in Switzerland. CONDENSATION: This study in a public hospital in Western Switzerland suggests an increasing prevalence of HSV-2, but a low incidence of primary infections in women of childbearing age.

Indução de alterações morfológicas e anatômicas em folhas de abacaxizeiro 'Pérola' pelo ácido 2-(3-clorofenoxi) propiônico

Em estudo que visou controlar a floração natural do abacaxizeiro 'Pérola' com fitorreguladores, nas plantas pulverizadas com 50 e 100 mg L-1 (3 aplicações) do ácido 2-(3-clorofenoxi) propiônico (ACP), foram observadas alterações internas e externas nas folhas. O limbo foliar apresentou ligeiro estrangulamento na porção mediana das folhas 'E' e 'F' e próximo ao ponto de inserção no caule nas C' e 'D'. A cerca de 5-10 cm desse ponto surgiram estruturas similares a calos, que originaram raízes adventícias. A roseta central das plantas apresentou-se torcida, com as folhas mais curtas e largas. Cortes anatômicos permitiram observar, sob microscópio óptico (40X), que as raízes adventícias foram formadas a partir de meristemas nos feixes vasculares (xilema e floema), e que a estrutura anatômica foliar nos pontos de estrangulamento do limbo não foi alterada. Parênquima assimilador formou-se no córtex dessas raízes adventícias, indicando a realização de fotossíntese nesse tecido. A localização das raízes adventícias nas folhas correspondeu às áreas de provável acúmulo do produto pulverizado sobre as plantas. Os efeitos causados pelo ACP neste trabalho sugerem o seu uso em estudos relacionados à indução de enraizamento na propagação vegetativa (convencional e micropropagação) e na formação de calos "in vitro". E servem, também, para orientar novos estudos sobre a inibição da floração natural e seu uso prático, a fim de se evitar danos às plantas.

Fulvestrant with or without selumetinib, a MEK 1/2 inhibitor, in breast cancer progressing after aromatase inhibitor therapy: A multicentre randomised placebo-controlled double-blind phase II trial, SAKK 21/08.

BACKGROUND: Second line endocrine therapy has limited antitumour activity. Fulvestrant inhibits and downregulates the oestrogen receptor. The mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway is one of the major cascades involved in resistance to endocrine therapy. We assessed the efficacy and safety of fulvestrant with selumetinib, a MEK 1/2 inhibitor, in advanced stage breast cancer progressing after aromatase inhibitor (AI). PATIENTS AND METHODS: This randomised phase II trial included postmenopausal patients with endocrine-sensitive breast cancer. They were ramdomised to fulvestrant combined with selumetinib or placebo. The primary endpoint was disease control rate (DCR) in the experimental arm. ClinicalTrials.gov Indentifier: NCT01160718. RESULTS: Following the planned interim efficacy analysis, recruitment was interrupted after the inclusion of 46 patients (23 in each arm), because the selumetinib-fulvestrant arm did not reach the pre-specified DCR. DCR was 23% (95% confidence interval (CI) 8-45%) in the selumetinib arm and 50% (95% CI 27-75%) in the placebo arm. Median progression-free survival was 3.7months (95% CI 1.9-5.8) in the selumetinib arm and 5.6months (95% CI 3.4-13.6) in the placebo arm. Median time to treatment failure was 5.1 (95% CI 2.3-6.7) and 5.6 (95% CI 3.4-10.2) months, respectively. The most frequent treatment-related adverse events observed in the selumetinib-fulvestrant arm were skin disorders, fatigue, nausea/vomiting, oedema, diarrhoea, mouth disorders and muscle disorders. CONCLUSIONS: The addition of selumetinib to fulvestrant did not show improving patients' outcome and was poorly tolerated at the recommended monotherapy dose. Selumetinib may have deteriorated the efficacy of the endocrine therapy in some patients.

Ácido 2,3,5-tri-iodobenzoico (TIBA) na micropropagação de abacaxizeiro 'IAC Gomo-de-Mel'

O abacaxi 'IAC Gomo-de-Mel' é uma espécie economicamente importante devido a diversas características sensoriais. Uma das técnicas para obter maior número de plantas é a micropropagação. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a ação do TIBA (ácido 2,3,5-tri-iodobenzoico) na formação de brotos e raízes do abacaxizeiro 'IAC Gomo-de-Mel', assim como possíveis alterações na morfologia de tecidos foliares. Foram utilizados segmentos das gemas da coroa de abacaxi, com aproximadamente 1 cm, oriundos de cultivo em meio líquido, suplementadas com 1,0 mg L-1 BAP+ 0,5 mg L-1 NAA , sendo posteriormente inoculados em meio MS líquido contendo diversas concentrações de TIBA, em condição de luz e temperatura controladas, implantando 3 diferentes experimentos para as análises biométrica, bioquímica e anatômica. Os experimentos foram implantados em delineamento experimental inteiramente ao acaso, com 8 tratamentos, com 4 repetições para as análises biométricas e 5 repetições para a bioquímica e anatômica. Ao final de 60 dias, foram avaliados o número e o comprimento das brotações, o comprimento da planta-mãe e o número de raízes. A análise da atividade de AIA-oxidase foi realizada no dia da instalação do experimento e aos 15; 30; 45 e 60 dias de cultivo. Conclui-se que o TIBA isoladamente não induz brotações. A redução na atividade da AIA-oxidase foi relacionada com a emissão de novas raízes, e o aumento na espessura dos tecidos foliares ocorreu após aplicação exógena de TIBA, em abacaxizeiro in vitro.

Immunodeficiency and the risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia 2/3 and cervical cancer: A nested case-control study in the Swiss HIV cohort study.

HIV-infected women are at increased risk of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN) and invasive cervical cancer (ICC), but it has been difficult to disentangle the influences of heavy exposure to HPV infection, inadequate screening and immunodeficiency. A case-control study including 364 CIN2/3 and 20 ICC cases matched to 1,147 controls was nested in the Swiss HIV Cohort Study (1985-2013). CIN2/3 risk was significantly associated with low CD4+ cell counts, whether measured as nadir [odds ratio (OR) per 100-cell/μL decrease = 1.15, 95% CI: 1.08, 1.22], or at CIN2/3 diagnosis (1.10, 95% CI: 1.04, 1.16). An association was evident even for nadir CD4+ 200-349 versus ≥350 cells/μL (OR = 1.57, 95% CI: 1.09, 2.25). After adjustment for nadir CD4+, a protective effect of >2-year cART use was seen against CIN2/3 (OR versus never cART use = 0.64, 95% CI: 0.42, 0.98). Despite low study power, similar associations were seen for ICC, notably with nadir CD4+ (OR for 50 vs. >350 cells/μL= 11.10, 95% CI: 1.24, 100). HPV16-L1 antibodies were significantly associated with CIN2/3, but HPV16-E6 antibodies were nearly exclusively detected in ICC. In conclusion, worsening immunodeficiency, even at only moderately decreased CD4+ cell counts, is a significant risk factor for CIN2/3 and cervical cancer.

Comment Samuel devint prophète: Analyse du récit de 1 Samuel 3 dans son contexte

Le récit de 1 S 3 raconte comment une nuit Yhwh essaya à plusieurs reprises de se révéler au jeune Samuel, alors serviteur au sanctuaire de Silo. Instruit par son maître Éli, le garçon put finalement répondre à Yhwh. Il devint alors récepteur d'un message divin. Yhwh annonce un événement effrayant qui va « faire tinter les oreilles de quiconque en entendra parler ». Au matin, Samuel rapporte la parole divine à Éli, son maître. À la fin du récit le lecteur apprend que Yhwh continue de se évéler à Samuel. Voilà en résumé comment, selon le récit de 1 S 3, Samuel devint prophète. Ce chapitre est interprété par les chercheurs de manières très différentes. On peut néanmoins discerner deux tendances d'interprétation : a) 1 S 3 serait composé selon un certain genre littéraire : il s'agirait d'un « récit de vocation », voire d'un « récit de rêve d'incubation » ou encore d'un « récit de théophanie onirique ». b) Le récit 1 S 3 a des liens forts avec le récit de 1 S 1-2, récit d'ouverture des livres de Samuel qui rapporte comment Samuel a été dédié au sanctuaire de Silo par sa mère Anne et comment et dans quelles circonstances il a grandi au sanctuaire. Étant donné ces liens, certains chercheurs estiment que les deux récits, à un moment donné, ont été réunis en une seule narration portant sur la naissance de Samuel et sa jeunesse au sanctuaire de Silo. Cette narration de 1 S 1-3 aurait été à l'origine indépendante des récits suivants (1 S 4-6) qui forment une entité autonome en commun avec 2 S 6, le soi-disant « récit de l'arche ». Le présent article présentera et discutera ces propositions en dialogue avec des idées d'autres chercheurs ainsi que des suggestions personnelles. J'aborderai donc la question du genre du récit, et celle de la relation avec les récits qui l'encadrent. Pour cette seconde question il sera important d'examiner de très près l'oracle de Yhwh se trouvant au coeur du récit (v. 11-14) et de poser la question de l'événement qu'il vise. À la fin de la contribution les questions concernant le milieu et l'âge du récit seront abordées.

Transgression et initiation : tendances idéologiques et développement littéraire du récit de Genèse 2-3

Several questions about the story of Gen 2-3 remain unresolved in current scholarship. For instance, the implications and manifold consequences of the transgression act - the consumption of the forbidden fruit - are much debated. Interpreters generally agree that the story is connected to several "J" / "non-P" narratives of the primeval history. Besides the use of the tetragrammaton as the designation for God, a common characteristic of these stories is the strong opposition between Yhwh as a harsh deity on one hand and disobedient and transgressing humankind on the other. This paper reconsiders several open questions as well as the aforementioned consensus. The analysis of important motifs in Gen 2-3 leads to the conclusion that this story differs in theologically important ways from the postulated "J"-narrative in Genesis. This indicates that it was not composed as an integral part of that narrative. There are, in Gen 2-3, ideological features and linguistic elements typical of the "J" stratum, but they are all found in the sections that present Yhwh God's investigation and punishment of the couple (3,8-19.24). Since these verses are in tension with or even contradict their immediate context, it should be assigned to a redactional ("J") layer. According to this analysis, the transgression in Gen 2-3 should not be considered a sin. Rather, it is an important step in human evolution towards a self-conscious and autonomous being. The plot has a structure similar to some episodes in ancient Near Eastern myths. 'Initiation' functions as a central theme. Finally, the article discusses the literary milieu of the story. Because of several linguistic and thematic similarities with Gen 1, with P-texts in general, and with the book of Ezekiel, the relationship of Gen 2-3 to these literary entities needs to be reconsidered.
